Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[mattpeto]

I spoke about this the other day. My husband qualifies for DAS. It's a wonderful system, and I am so thankful that it exists. It works incredibly well under normal circumstances. Right now however, I can tell you as someone who doesn't have to actually have to stand in line, it is very challenging to wait it out until the assigned return time. There is just not enough to do that doesn't require waiting in yet another, different line. We are fortunate to be APHs and are about a 4 hour drive, so we make frequent trips and only stay a few hours each day in the parks, but for people who don't have that luxury, I can't even imagine. Avoiding a line should make you happy, but sadly, it's not as helpful as you might think.

Just my opinion, it's a flat out mess down there right there. I don't even fault Disney too much, they are trying to add things slowly (decoration theming, cavalcades, etc.).

I think anyone taking the splurge just has to accept this is a real limited Disney experience. That's probably okay for the AP and the locals and I can appreciate that.

It is okay for current ap but many of them aren’t renewing for the same reasons of not worth the price.

Universal has started decorating for the holidays

I don't think we'll see the parade as they haven't announced auditions, not sure about the grinch show
Over at SWO the Rudolph area is being set up along with the floating trees on the lagoon and the ice skating show is scheduled to happen. O Wondrous Night will not

I wonder if they will do the Hogwarts Christmas light show? It's so amazing.

lol, Spooktacular is still going on every weekend and the houses are open at Universal for HHN lite going Wednesday, very excited, wait times hover under 20 minutes during the weekdays, if you are familiar with normal HHN you know line for houses are usually 45 minutes plus

that would be great but I don't think they will because of the crowding

Yeah, it's listed on the OI meetup. I was doubtful when I saw it.
I am curious how much they are offering for the meetup changes once November gets here and they send out our email updates. Either way, something new to look forward to.

CM's are not sick of doing it, people just don't listen or pull it up temporarily and turn around and walk away and it's back down. You can't control everyone all the time. Please don't blame CM's or assume to know what they are thinking.

Pp said probably. It’s definitely possible. I work somewhere where I am sick of telling ppl so I don’t. I just stay away from them.

When is the plan to open AKL? Is there a date yet for that one? Do we think the lobby & dining will open when they do open?

I don't think this is going to be the news that a lot of Disney fans/DL lovers are hoping for. I'm just an observer but some of the events of the last week or so don't inspire much confidence. This MiceChat story was posted in the DL reopening thread, and while it paints a grim picture, I unfortunately think it may be accurate. Could be wrong on this though; it's just a gut feeling.

Jambo is open for DVC guests. Pool bar is the only offering there really. Lobby is open but empty.
